10 Foods High In Arginine
Food #10: Spirulina
Not many people would find the thought of eating algae to be appealing, but one type of algae is very popular when it comes to healthy living diets. Spirulina is a type of algae that is found growing naturally in the sea, while it is also grown commercially to be sold worldwide.
One reason for spirulina’s popularity is that it is very high in nutrients. It is a good source of iron, calcium potassium, and niacin. Plus, of course, spirulina is also a good source of arginine with around 0.28 grams found in a single tablespoon. Spirulina is most often used as an ingredient in smoothies.
